Yeah, seems odd today in the west that then many tended to have pictures of their county's leaders on the walls whether the leader was FDR or Hitler, etc. May be an indication of the change in view or leaders or leadership.
I only watched a couple of of it. As a young'in I ran the movie projectors at my father's summer hotel at Alton Beach, NH. There were a number of test reels from FDR's period made by the government to a number of his programs, usually running from 10-15 minutes. Also, a number of news reels from the period promoting and showing how he was succeeding in turning things around and a few comparing Hoovers administration to FDR's. I gather then they were prequels to the main feature. I suppose these were all lost some years later when the hotel burnt to the ground, sadly. I especially was affected politically by the sale of Social Security to the public. It's purpose and scope then as sold and now is so different. As a 16 year old viewing it and thinking upon the subject, it formulated my views as to government's role and relationship to society, a view that has never changed after 50+ years.
I agree given the circumstances then, FDR was astute in domestic and economic affairs.
